Ingredients

  • A quarter cup of olive oil
  • Four chopped red onions
  • Six chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped to your liking
  • One pound of hot pork sausage (like Jimmy Dean®)
  • Two and a half pounds of ground turkey
  • Two cans of crushed tomatoes (28 ounces each) with their juice (like Hunt's®)
  • One can of Italian-style diced tomatoes (28 ounces, like Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic, and Oregano)
  • A bottle or can of beer (12 fluid ounces)
  • One tablespoon of garlic powder
  • One and a half teaspoons of kosher salt
  • One tablespoon of ground black pepper
  • Three tablespoons of ground cumin
  • One tablespoon of chili powder
  • A quarter cup of paprika
  • A quarter cup of brown sugar
  • Four cinnamon sticks
  • Twelve whole cloves

Step 1

Begin by heating olive oil in a generously sized skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions and chipotle peppers until the onions turn translucent, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Next, add the sizzling sausage and turkey to the mix, allowing them to brown as you break them up with a spoon into delectable crumbles. This step may take an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2

Transfer the savory meat blend into a sizable slow cooker, making sure to leave any excess grease in the skillet. Combine crushed tomatoes, Italian-style diced tomatoes, beer, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and a touch of brown sugar with the meat until all the flavors harmonize beautifully.

Step 3

For an extra burst of flavor, tie cinnamon sticks and cloves in a piece of cheesecloth and add this aromatic bundle to the slow cooker. Let it simmer on Low for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the ingredients to meld together perfectly. Remember to remove the spice bundle wrapped in cheesecloth before serving this delightful dish.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize sturdy glass jars to store leftover chili for easy reheating and serving.
  2. 2. Freeze individual portions of chili in silicone muffin cups for quick and convenient meals on the go.
  3. 3. Repurpose empty tin cans as makeshift storage containers for chili leftovers – just make sure to label them!
